:: Malignant hyperthermia Synonyms: malignant hyperpyrexia, hyperthermia of anesthesia Syndromes with higher risk of MH: `` King-Denborough syndrome `` central core disease (CCD, central core myopathy) `` multiminicore disease (with or without RYR1 mutation) `` nemaline rod myopathy (with or without RYR1 mutation) `` hypokalemic periodic paralysis Definition: Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare disorder of skeletal muscles related to a high release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum which leads to muscle rigidity in many cases and hypermetabolism. Abrupt onset is triggered either by anesthesic agents such as halogenated volatile anesthetics and depolarizing muscle relaxant such as succinylcholine (MH of anesthesia), or, occasionally, by stresses such as vigorous exercise or heat. In most cases, mutations of RYR1 and CACNA1S genes have been reported. MH is characterized by tachycardia, arrhythmia, muscle rigidity, hyperthermia, skin mottling, rhabdomyolysis (colacolored urine) metabolic acidosis, electrolyte disturbances especially hyperkalemia and coagulopathy. Dantrolene is currently the only known treatment for a MH crisis.
